Design and performance of the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder telescope camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Array. pSCT based on novel dual mirror optics design which reduces plate scale and allows use of silicon photomultipliers as photodetectors. camera currently has only central sector instrumented with 25 modules (1600 pixels), providing 2.68$^{\circ}$ field view (FoV). electronics are custom TARGET (TeV array readout GSa/s sampling event trigger) application specific integrated circuits. Field programmable gate arrays sample incoming signals at gigasample per second. A single backplane provides camera-wide triggers. An upgrade progress, will fully populate focal plane. This increase number pixels to 11,328, backplanes 9, FoV 8.04$^{\circ}$. Here we give detailed description camera, including basic concept, mechanical design, detectors, electronics, current status first light.

MAGIC comprises two 17m diameter IACTs to be operated in stereo mode. Currently we are commissioning the second telescope, MAGIC II. The camera of the second telescope has been equipped with 1039 pixels of 0.1-degree diameter. Always seven pixels are grouped in a hexagonal configuration to form a cluster. This modular design allows easier control and maintenance of the camera. The pixel sensors...
